Miles Morales

Living...in Brooklyn, with his loving parents. Miles’ dad Jefferson Davis is a police officer, while his mom Rio Moralesis a nurse. 

Profession...new student at Brooklyn Visions Academy. Miles recently earned a scholarship to attend the prestigious boarding school, but so far he’s having a little trouble fitting in. Things get even more complicated when Miles is bitten by a radioactive spider and develops the same abilities as New York City’s favorite protector Spider-Man. 

Interests...listening to hip-hop, and working on street art with his beloved uncle Aaron Davis. 

Relationship Status...crushing on Gwen Stacy, an effortlessly cool girl who goes to his school and initially introduces herself as “Gwanda."

Challenge...saving the world(s). In addition to struggling to adjust to his newfound Spider-Man superpowers, Miles has to wrap his head around someother mind-bending facts too. It turns out his world is just one of a multiverse of worlds, each of which has their own Spider-Hero. When the villainous Kingpin concocts a plan that will tear the multiverse apart, Miles teams up with Spider-Woman, Spider-Man Noir, Peni Parker, Spider-Ham, and his reluctant mentor (Peter P. Parker) to try to save all of their worlds. Miles’ unique powers include shooting electric blasts and turning invisible, but he can barely control them. As he asks at one point, “When will I know I’m ready?”

Personality...smart, artistic, and a little rebellious. As a young teenager, Miles is still trying to figure out exactly who he is. He’s often torn between his intellectual side and his artistic one, as well as caught between what his parents want for him and what he wants for himself. He mostly just wants to be a normal kid, not someone who stands out in a crowd. However, his talent shines through even when he’s trying to hide it. Miles is warm, personable, and easy to like. His sense of humor and huge heart will serve him well on any path he chooses.
